Superstitions Lyrics

As I walked under a ladder and tripped over a black cat

I crossed my fingers in silent prayer as a bird shat on my back

The horseshoe hanging over the door dropped down upon my head

When I put my shoes on the table And threw my hat onto the bed

These myths and superstitions hold no weight with me

A skeptical mind I think you'll find a more logical guarantee

I wish upon a shooting star that people now will find

The moot details of old wives' tales are surely best left behind

My rabbit's foot just got stuck when I sat on it by mistake, touching woods warding off

Bad luck as a picture falls and breaks

Throwing salt over my left shoulder blinds my sister in the eye, she cuts herself on

Crossed knives as a magpie flew on by

These myths and superstitions hold no weight with me

A skeptical mind I think you'll find

A more logical guarantee

I wish upon a shooting star that people now will find

The moot details of old wives' tales are surely best left behind

Breaking mirrors brings seven years bad luck, at least that's what they say, but on reflection

I cannot see anyone acting in that way

No, no one's acting in that way

These myths and superstitions hold no weight with me

A skeptical mind I think you'll find

A more logical guarantee

I wish upon a shooting star that people now will find

The moot details of old wives' tales

Are surely best left behind

I hear a banshee wailing and dogs howling at night

Crows tapping on the window as a death watch beetle bites

As a death watch beetle bites
